Personnel
Time Will Reveal (song)
"Time Will Reveal" is a single by DeBarge and released on September 11, 1983 as the first single off the group's third album, In a Special Way on the Gordy label. It was also the group's biggest hit prior to the group's 1985 hit, "Rhythm of the Night".
Overview
Recording
By 1983, DeBarge was riding off the crossover success of their second album, All This Love, which included the title track and "I Like It". Boosted by its success, the group recorded a similar album with In a Special Way. Among the songs chosen for a single was the crossover hit "Time Will Reveal", which was written by sister Bunny DeBarge & brothers El and Bobby.
Reception
Much like their two previous singles, DeBarge found a hit with "Time Will Reveal", which reached number one on the Billboard R&B singles chart and number 18 on the US pop singles chart. The success of this record and the preceding singles helped the group attain an opening slot for Luther Vandross' U.S. tour of 1984, in which by then DeBarge had become a national attraction, with its early success being compared to the earlier Motown family act, The Jackson 5.
Time Will Reveal
What can I do to make you feel secure, remove all your doubts
So that you'll know for sure that you're the apple of my eye girl
Fulfillment of my dreams, time, will show the value
Of just what you mean to me
More precious than silver, more precious than diamond rings
Or anything that I can give you, it wouldn't mean a thing
If you didn't have my love beside you there to guide you through
But it is good to know you do
I know just how you feel
But this time love's for real
In time it will reveal
That special love that's deep inside of us will all reveal in time
I tell you I love you but you won't believe it's true
More precious than silver, more precious than diamond rings
Or anything that I can give you, it wouldn't mean a thing
If you didn't have my love beside you there to guide you through
But it is good to know you do, aah
I know just how you feel
But this time love's for real
In time it will reveal
That special love that's deep inside of us will all reveal in time
I know just how you feel
But this time love's for real
In time it will reveal
That special love that's deep inside of us will all reveal in time
Say it baby, yeah babe
Or anything that I can give you, it wouldn't mean a thing
If you didn't have my love beside you there to guide you through
But it is good to know you do
I know just how you feel
But this time love's for real
In time it will reveal
That special love that's deep inside of us will all reveal in time
I know just how you feel
But this time love's for real
In time it will reveal
Hey oh, that special lovin' arms will all reveal in time
I know just how you feel
So let you're little heart lay down my body
In time it will reveal
